Therefore, Prairie and I have been picking up the season sets on DVD from time to time. We&#8217;re up to season five, and all these episodes have been brand new to me. It&#8217;s been a lot of fun discovering the source of various catchwords and phrases that I&#8217;ve known for years after they seeped into the general public consciousness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I now own a white dress shirt, black bow tie, and black suit jacket. These will be worn tonight along with my <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.utilikilts.com\/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&amp;Category=35\" title=\"Utilikilts: The Mocker\">mocker<\/a> kilt and 14-eye Doc Marten boots while I&#8217;m photographing NSCC&#8217;s Career Link Academy Prom. I only wish the long-lost Tuxedo Utilikilt (seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiltmen.com\/links.htm\" title=\"Links for Bravehearts\">here<\/a> being worn by Dick Clark) would re-appear, as has been rumored for quite some time now. Still, the black Mocker will work for tonight.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Prairie will be heading down to see her sister graduate with her Master&#8217;s Degree from college this weekend. My work schedule, unfortunately, prevented me from going along.

What I didn&#8217;t realize when she first asked me if I wanted these was <em>how many<\/em> she had to send, so I was quite surprised (though very happily so) to open the envelope to find 22 CDs that encompassed eleven shows recorded during 2005. I will eventually get all of these shows encoded to .mp3, tagged, and posted on the bootlegs page, but I haven&#8217;t even had a chance to get started on them yet&#8230;this will probably be a summertime project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp; offerid=78941.10000170&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" title=\"Get iTunes\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iTunes\" border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"15\" src=\"http:\/\/images.apple.com\/itunesaffiliates\/logos\/iTunes_sm_bdg61x15.png\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id= xLsJkztrnNY&amp;bids=78941.10000170&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" alt=\"\" \/> &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp; offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms %253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa %252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253F artistTerm%253DI Musici%2526songTerm=Brandenburg Concerto #6 in B flat - Allegro%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for 'Brandenburg Concerto #6 in B flat - Allegro' on the iTMS\">Brandenburg Concerto #6 in B flat &#8211; Allegro<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/ stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid= 1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252F MZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252Fadvanced SearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DI Musici%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for 'I Musici' on the iTMS\">I Musici<\/a> from the album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/click. linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type= 3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple. com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.
